2 Chapter 2

"If not here, then where should i go?" said the girl looking at me. Her eyes were as red as they were filled with blood, instead of tears. "You should go back home" I said staring at her. Both if us look in each other's eyes for a few seconds. I couldn't even guess what she was thinking and then, she turned her head, staring the ground. She gave a laugh full of grief and said "Home ? Can't you see I can't go home ever again ? My house became a pile of ashes. All my family members was burnt to death. I don't have a home to go now, I don't have a family anymore." A continuous tears falling down her eyes.

So what I thought was correct, she's indeed a member of this family. I wandered around the city for hours when I lost the person I loved. I know there are people must be looking for me. But her, she lost 3 people whom she loved. She lost her family. If she does what I did, she might get lost in this vast world full of people . Still nobody will come to find her. Right at this moment, I want to hug her, take her home and give her the family she lost. But is it that what she want? What if she also only wants money from me and has no value for love? "So.... you want a house to live, Right?"I asked her and waited for response. She thought about it for a while. I waited for her answer quitly and calmly. And then she finally said."Even if I want a house, I can get it without trouble. But what I really want is a home , with my family , full of joy and love ". Js it really what I heard ? She wants love and family , not money ? A girl like her really exist and she was right in front of me. But can she be mine?should I ask her? But what if she come with me for money and will she leave me too, after her condition gets better? But what if she is really different ? different from her at the very least? should I take this chance ? maybe i could fall in love again and make her fall for me too ? maybe i should ask her but don't tell her my true identity till she falls for me? atleast then i'll be sure that she loves me not my money like other girls ? yeah maybe this one seems the best option. But what if she doesn't agree? but i should atleast give it a try. one would never know unless he tries. i thought and said with my most serious look and voice "marry me and I will give you anything you want." She looked up at me with a confused gaze thinking 'is this guy crazy ? we don't even know each other's name and he's proposing me to marry him.' well that really sounded awkward so i added further "Listen, i can't do much for you. But if you really want a family and love, then I could give it a try."

"how can I marry a stranger i just met ? I don't even know your name not to mention anything about you. what if you tricked me and throw me out when you're done with me?" she said in a confused angry tone. "i know it's really awkward to getting a marriage proposal so suddenly. and of course as a girl you shouldn't trust a stranger but right now you're out of choices. also I'm asking you to marry me and be my wife, not to be my mistress or anything." i tried my best to explain and convince her to come with me. "but why me ? out of so many girls why did you choose me, a nobody?" she asked in a low voice. "i don't know but when i saw you like this i just wanted to take care of you and love you for the rest of my life." i said looking deep into her eyes. "But what if you didn't fall in love with me but someone else?" she said looking away from me. of course what she said is reasonable for her, but for me its impossible to fall in love with anyone else. but for now i have to give her an answer that can satisfy her. "then, i leave it up to you. If you don't want to live with me we can get divorced." my voice choked as i said this. She again was lost in her thoughts. She really thinks alot, i thought. A few moments later, she finally said "I..I don't want a big house or expensive cars or gifts. But i don't want to intimate with someone I don't love. I hope you can understand." A look at her face and i can tell she was embarrassed to say that. And i dont know why but that made me burst out in laughter. It was the first time i laughed since i lost my mom. "what is there to laugh about?" she asked with a confused face. I smiled, grabbed her in my arms and said "nothing. I agree with it, but is it okay to hug you ?" she buried her face on my chest and said "yeah. but it's my first time to be held by someone so i can be a bit shy sometimes. so please forgive me for that." I broke the hug, kissed her forehead and said "idiot."
